Hamburg Messe

Wide range of trade fair events

Hamburg Messe is located in the heart of the Hanseatic city. Over 40 in-house and guest events with up to 15,000 exhibitors and around 700,000 visitors make the Hamburg Exhibition Centre a meeting place for people from all over the world year after year.

Hamburg Messe und Congress (HMC) organizes, manages and facilitates a large number of major national and international events year after year: Major trade fairs, world-class congresses, party conferences, annual general meetings, cultural performances and sporting events all find a suitable setting here.
In the heart of the city, between the university and the Reeperbahn, between the pulsating city center and spacious parks, the eleven halls of the Hamburg exhibition center have 87,000 square meters of exhibition space. In addition, up to 50 halls are available in the CCH - Congress Center Hamburg, which is only a few meters away.


A wide range of events

The broad portfolio of Hamburg Messe und Congress is geared in particular to the strong economic clusters of the metropolis on the Elbe: leading trade fairs such as SMM - the leading international maritime trade fair, WindEnergy Hamburg or INTERNORGA - the leading European trade fair for the hotel, catering, mass catering, bakery and confectionery sectors are important meeting points for industry decision-makers from all over the world.
Important guest events, including other leading trade fairs from the aviation industry or large order fairs for the retail trade, find ideal conditions at the Hamburg Messe und Congress site, as do exciting public trade fairs, international marketing events, TV gala events, award ceremonies and political summit meetings.


The new CCH - highly flexible and multifunctional

Just a few minutes' walk from Hamburg Messe is the CCH - Congress Center Hamburg, one of Europe's largest congress centers, which after a modernization and conversion phase lasting several years now offers 12,000 square meters of exhibition space, 12,000 square meters of foyer space and 12,000 seats, providing the ideal conditions for meeting the high technical and flexibility requirements of modern congresses and events.

CITY AREA PORTRAIT Sternschanze & Karoviertel

The two districts around Schanzenstraße and Schulterblatt are always in motion. Here, it is colourful and lively, and it has become much fancier in the last few years. Still, the district in the borough of Altona has preserved much of its rough, leftist-alternative nonconformism.
